When I lived near London, finishing my English Lit. degree, I had a job as a bookie! We took bets on the races over the 'phone. I had to use a working class Brit accent or the bettors wouldn't trust me!

My Philosophy

Emmit Till’s mother was being true to what I call the Jewish creation of the prophetic, that talks about “to be human is to be kind to the stranger, is to live a life of compassion, and to pursue justice,” always an ideal that we attempt to approximate.

"Without music, life would be a mistake."--Friedrich Nietzsche AND "Making art is complicated because the categories are always changing. You just have to make your own art, and whatever categories it falls into will come later."
Frank Stella
